[QUOTE="surjimmy, post: 3041886, member: 1551"] I use to to believe that the best protection from a bear was a 12ga pump. In the Marines we has buckshot, and the pellets was connected with a wire. It would cut a 3in tree in too. I am a huge 45/70 fan, but after watching what a Bear spray will do I'm not so sure. The spray puts out a huge cloud that shuts the bear down, I was amazed when I saw this and it made me reconsider. The one problem that I have seen time after time is, most people carry their stuff where they can't get to it. Spray does you no good in your back pack, a rifle or shotgun does you no good slung on your shoulder where the strap is under your backpack strap, and a pistol (revolver) does you no good with the flap button down with other crap can get in your way trying to get to it. What ever you choose, keep it where you can get it QUICK FAST & and IN A HURRY, but no way shape or form would I go intentionally into brown or even black bear country with a 30/30 as my gun of choice for protection if I had other options.
